Acceptance

-CC's POV-

Well, my mom, at least.
"Mom?!" I gasped, taking a step back. "How did you know I was here? Why are you here? What are you doing?"
"Oh, CC, I miss you so much, and so does your father. All we want is for you to come back home." It was clear that she wanted to hug me, and a part of me wanted to hug her, too. But I refused to let go of Ashley's hand. Ashley, who was standing beside me awkwardly in shock.
"Mom-I-I-" I shook my head. I didn't know what to say. "You told me to dump Ashley or move out. I made my choice, I'm not changing, why would you want me back now?" I asked at last.
"Because we love you and we miss you, CC. Everything is so quiet and empty without you, the house, the car, my heart. I'd do anything just to have you move back in," she confessed, and there was truth in her eyes. An innocent sorrow begging to be forgivin, a regret at her words last weekend. I wanted so badly to believe her, to embrace her in a long, tight hug. But if I let go of Ashley's hand to do so, I let go of him. I met her gaze with partly false confidence.
"Would you accept Ashley and I?" She bit her lip for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes," she whispered. "Yes, anything to have you back." A smile leapt on my face and grew until it could stretch no farther, and I dared let go of Ashley's hand to embrace her.
"Thank you. Thank you so much, mom," I told her, tears of joy in my eyes.
"Anything to have my CC back," she replied. "Come on, Ashley, join the hug. You're part of the family now, too," she said, motioning to Ashley, who grinned and made it a group hug. It really touched me, how she said that, and they both put aside what she had said against him earlier. When it was over and we all pulled away, I held Ashley's hand with pride as she walked with us to the car, where my dad was parked. He frowned when he saw us, however.
"Now what exactly is going on here?" He questioned.
"Mom said she'd do anything to have me back, so in order for me to live under your roof, she promised me that you would both accept Ashley and I," I announced. Oh god, please don't make him disagree, I prayed mentally. He sighed, but his frown faded.
"Everyone get in the car. Ashley, call your parents and tell them we'll drop you off. CC, you can pick up your stuff from Jinxx's house tomorrow."
"Yes!" I cried, jumping in the air and kissing a surprised Ashley when I landed. Dad cleared his throat after a couple seconds.
"I'd still appreciate it if you guys didn't do that around me," he said. I shrugged.
"Fine for now," I responded as we all climbed into the car.
"Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Coma," Ashley said. Those were his first words since my mother came crashing through the bushes, and I was so happy that all grudge-like forms of dislike vanished as soon as they apologized. I was so proud of my boyfriend for being able to do that. Not many people can. I wanted to kiss him again, but resisted and settled for giving his hand a little squeeze instead.
"It's no problem, Ashley," my mother told him.
"Hey, wait, I just remembered something. How did you guys know where I was and everything?" I asked.
"We were very panicked and worried about you by the end of the week, CC. We were contacting everyone's parents, desperately asking if anyone knew anything, and eventually, Jinxx's mother spilled. She told us that you would be going to the Halloween dance with Ashley, so we came at the end to find you. God bless Mrs. Fergurson."

-Jake's POV-

Andy and I were just leaving the dance now. The day before, we had both figured that the parking lot would be pretty full if we drove to the school ourselves, so our parents dropped us off. Now, we were waiting for one of them to come and pick us up so that we could tell them.
"Oh, there's my mom's car," I said as I stood up and pointed to it. "You ready, baby?" I asked Andy, who looked a little nervous.
"A bit," he admitted, but it was clear that he was freaking out.
"Hey," I said, turning to him. "It'll all be fine. I promise." I held his hand as we walked up to my mom's car.
"Hello, Andy. You ready to go, Jake?" I took a deep breath.
"Yes, but first I have to tell you something."
"And what might that be?"
"Andy is my boyfriend and we're dating," I blurted out a little less smoothly than I meant to. I kissed him, just for proof. She was unfazed.
"Oh, Jake, I already knew that," she stated calmly. Now I was confused.
"Wait, what? How did you know?"
"When I picked you up from the sleepover, sweetie. I saw you kiss him. It was quick and you thought that I couldn't see, but I did. I wasn't quite sure what I should say to Andy's parents, or if I should say anything at all, but it would seem unfair to them if I kept the information all to myself. It was confirmed when Andy left his phone unlocked one day and misplaced it, allowing his parents to take a look at his text messges. They didn't mean to be nosy or snooping around or anything, they were just curious. Now, of course, we're all happy for you two, but I really would have appreciated it if you trusted me enough to tell me sooner," she explained. Holy shit, my mother could be a detective, I thought. My jaw dropped.
"Well, we were going to tell you after the sleepover, but Jake was worried that you'd assume that we did stuff that night when we didn't. We didn't, I swear!" Andy promised, and she laughed.
"I wasn't worried, I trust you both. But still, should have told me earlier. Alright now, enough with the heavy talk, get in the car, I'll drop you off at your house, Andy," she said, and we did as we were told.
